/news/researchers-study-how-cochlear-implants-affect-brain-circuits
<p>Cochlear implants have been widely used, but not all children respond well to the devices, which bypass most of the ear to connect a microphone to the cochlea in the inner ear. Researchers at the 麻豆传媒 Center for Mind and Brain, supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, are studying how deaf children with cochlear implants use various brain areas to process sound. The goal is to come up with interventions that will help children better adapt to the implants.</p>June 30, 2016 - 12:25pmAndy Fell/news/researchers-study-how-cochlear-implants-affect-brain-circuits麻豆传媒 faculty make their predictions for 2016

<p>Human babies appear to need more of a nutritional boost from breast-milk proteins than do infants of one of their closest primate relatives, suggests a study comparing human milk with the milk of rhesus macaque monkeys.</p>
<p>The research team, led by the University of California, Davis, came to this conclusion after developing a new technique for comparing the proteome 鈥� all detectable proteins 鈥� of human milk with the proteome of the rhesus macaque monkey.</p>March 16, 2015 - 10:15amIET WebDev/news/milk-protein-comparison-unveils-nutritional-gems-developing-babiesNewborn Horses Give Clues to Autism
